How to set a weaker password enforcement

[Ron]

I am using the createuseraccount control in my asp.net 2.0 app (with
visual webdevelopment express). For my needs the enforced password
strenght is to strong; I want to allow users to be able to create
passwords with only text. I found that the MembershipProvider password
related properties are ReadOnly so I can't find a way to override the
default membershipprovider password regular expression.
What should I do to enable weaker passwords?

Hello ron,

the regular expression is not set by default - there are other settings like
min length, min non-alpha numeric characters etc..

to modify the settings copy the <membership> element from machine.config
to your local web.config - if you don't change the provider name - add a
<clear /> element as the first child of the <providers> element.
